I was hobbling and had a sore back but still went in.Treadmill1 ml@4mph, elevation 5, 140s hr, 1/4@5mph L0, 1/4@3mphRecumbent 1ml@75rpm@L9I tried to do some HS bench presses, but I was spent.I came in hobbling with sore legs and back and left feeling a hundred years oldLast night I had a couple small ww pita with a moderate amount of pbThis morningpb on volkorn rye toast with ginger/soy teaafternoonbanana, hemp protein, soy milk cocoa smoothieafter workouta bananapsyliumdinnerginger, soy teakidney beans fried in a little olive oilsteamed brussel sprouts and yams with margarineafteribuprofentortilla chips and salsaI WILL rest tomorrow.

Today is definitely a rest day. I can't believe that I'm chomping at the bit to go in to the gym, but know I need to rest as I did 5 days in a row of cardio and was in pretty sad shape after yesterday, sore and tired.I slept a lot and started today with a Assam tea with a LOT of fresh ginger and unsweetend soy milk. Next I had a banana, hemp protein, soymilk and unsweetened cocoa smoothie. Now I'll have a dose of psylium, a multi and another tea with some 100% course ground rye toast and margarine. (locally baked "Volkorn" bread)I got on the scale for the first time in a while and am still sticking just below 220#. My stomach is still making my jeans tight! Something has got to be happening though, as I'm giving a serious effort at the gym and eating very clean, even if apparently, too much. I haven't glutted out in a real binge at night for some while, but still hanging tough at >219#!

Feeling good as far as tiredness. My back is definitely injured though, after missing my office chair and slamming my ass and elbows on the concrete floor a few days ago.Had another hemp, banana, soymilk smoothie, with fresh strawberries this time.I went to a Thai restaurant with my daughter and had a couple of fried Spring Rolls, 2 deep fried vegetable puff pastries and a cold rice paper roll with cold tofu, cilantro and rice vermicelli. The "chile" dipping sauce should have been called a "sugar" sauce though, so I only had a couple of drops. Still this was my most indulgent food in days, a little bit greasy. The Jasmine tea we had there was delicious.laterLess than half a beer, 2 rice cakes with a lot of PB.

Certainly another rest day. My left pelvis is a little weird and my fall this week is resulting in a knife-like feeling in my left mid back. I'm making a chiropractor appointment. (both rotator cuffs have felt sore for weeks too)morning food tea with soy milk, oatmeal with banana, cinnamon and margarine, psylium husksafternoontaboule and tortilla chips, more tea with soy milk

I feel great! (just a tiny bit of remembrance of the knife in the back feeling from last weeks fall) I'm psyched to continue my cardio blitz and maybe add some lifting again. Still, I'm sporting near 100 kg body weight. I feel confident that I'll redouble my palette control and surpass last year's low of 192 lbs. Honestly I should be in the 170s. I look forward to the increased ability in running and yoga once the weight leaves again. I want to be able to do some pull ups and chin ups! While I've been eating clean, I need to improve portion control. I need to drastically reduce my tortilla chip consumption and could do with out so much pb, if I do have a little. Besides running in the aforementioned 5k events a few of my Democrat pals will have when the warm weather returns to Ohio, my goals include feeling ok about posting "after" pictures in a few months, around the 4 year anniversary of this log. At 2 years I was able to show some impressive progress. I will recapture any lost ground and surpass my previous "after" pics.

I will recapture any lost ground and surpass my previous "after" pics.

oh yes you will.

how's your injury doing?

My back is much better and I'm off the ibu, not even doing last night's dose, thanks. The recumbent bike was how I healed a limp of over a year a couple of years back. I still wanted to baby my current injuries, so I gave the tread mill a break for a couple days. Most importantly the other machines allow me time in the zone. The machines say I'm their average 20 year old, can I get to a 10 year old's HR?
